'When he began, he said to God with a filial trust, "O my God, since Thou are with me, and I must now, in obedience to Thy commands, apply my mind to these outward things, grant me the grace to continue in Thy presence; and prosper me with Thy assistance. Receive all my works, and possess all my affections." As he proceeded in his work, he continued in his familiar conversation with his Maker, imploring His grace, and offering Him all his actions.'~Brother Lawrence, from The Practice of the Presence of God

"O Sovereign Lord, Let those that are united to me in tender ties be precious in thy sight and devoted to thy glory. Sanctify and prosper my domestic devotion, instruction, discipline, example, that my house may be a nursery for heaven."

'When saints do sleepy grow, let them come hither,
And hear how these two pilgrims talk together;
Yea, let them learn of them, in any wise,
Thus to keep ope their drowsy slumb'ring eyes.
Saints' fellowship, if it be managed well,
Keeps them awake, and that in spite of hell.'
~ "Christian" from The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

A.That I am not my own,[1] but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death,[2] to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ.[3] He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood, [4] and has set me free from all the power of the devil.[5] He also preserves me in such a way[6] that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head;[7] indeed, all things must work together for my salvation.[8] Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life[9] and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.[10]
